Excerpt from Letters The present volume is merely a supplement to the Life and Letters of Jowett, published two years ago. It contains a number of letters, partly on special subjects, and partly of more general interest, which could not be included in the previous volumes, and yet seemed to be worth preserving, and also some documents of a more public nature, which throw light on important features of J owett's career. The letters have been d...

Excerpt from Scripture and Truth The Dissertations which are here reprinted turn principally on the Author's method of interpreting Scripture. They indicate the point of view from which he looked upon the sacred writings, both in themselves, and in their possible applications to human life in its religious aspect. With the exception of the first Essay, which is of general significance, they formed part of his edition of St. Paul's Epistles to...

Excerpt from The Epistles of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, Galatians, Romans, Vol. 2 of 2: With Critical Notes and Dissertations The Epistle to the Romans has ever been regarded as first in importance among the Epistles of St. Paul, the cornerstone of that Gospel which he preached among the Gentiles. Not only does it present more completely than other parts of Scripture the doctrine of righteousness by faith, but it connects this doctrine wi...

Excerpt from The Epistles of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, Galatians and Romans: Essays and Dissertations It is a strange, though familiar facts, that great differences of opinion exist respecting the Interpretation of Scripture. All Christians receive the Old and New Testament as sacred writings, but they are not agreed about the meaning which they attribute to them. The book itself remains as at the first, the commentators seem rather to r...

Excerpt from The Dialogues of Plato, Vol. 2 of 5: Translated Into English With Analyses and Introductions He descants first of all upon the antiquity of love, which is proved by the authority of the poets, and then upon the benefits which love gives to man. The greatest of these is the sense of honour and dishonour. The lover is ashamed to be seen by the beloved doing or suffering any cowardly or mean act. And a state or army which was made u...

Excerpt from Sermons on Faith and Doctrine The most notable fact as to Jowett's doctrinal position is that he lays very little stress on the Church system, either the system of worship or that of dogma. From this it has been concluded that he held lightly by Christianity itself and was content with a vague theism, in which Plato counted for as much as Christ Himself. The readers of these Sermons will hardly think that his theism was vague. M...

Excerpt from The Interpretation of Scripture and Other Essays This life of Jowett by two of his most enthusiastic and sympathetic disciples satisfies many demands of the art of biography. Jowett himself loved Boswell's model work as it deserves to be loved, and would have made it the standard of excellence. The unique combination of circumstances which enabled Boswell to turn out a masterpiece has not, and probably never will, be repeated. Jo...

Excerpt from Theological Essays of the Late Benjamin Jowett The present Bishop of Bishop of Oxford, to his lasting honour, preaching in Christ Church Cathedral, as Dean, in October 1893, exhorted his hearers to 'praise God for the strenuous ungrudging energy, the hidden bountifulness, the true kind heart, the public spirit, the unworldliness, the deep reserve of strength, which were in Benjamin Jowett'. The Regius Greek Professor of the years...
